Live at Five (Sky News programme)

Sky News at Five (formerly Live at Five) and Sky News at Six were the titles of Sky News' authoritative hour-long evening news round-ups, beginning at 5pm and 6pm, British time.

Format

Until October 2016, the slot was anchored by Jeremy Thompson on weekdays, providing a round-up of all the day's events and coverage of any late-breaking news. The programme ran until 6:30pm (7pm on Fridays), although the 6-7pm hour was known as Sky News at Six. The programme was branded Live at Five from the channel's launch in 1989 until April 2011, when a change in branding policy was introduced, and the majority of Sky News output was rebranded as simply Sky News. In October 2016, the programme was axed as part of a schedule change.

Rivals

The programme's main rival was BBC News at Five, anchored by Huw Edwards on BBC News. Channel 5 also aired 5 News at 5 - their main news programme - at the same time.

gollark: You *probably* won't be dead at 75. Life expectancy in developed countries is higher than that.
gollark: Isn't it every 60 years or something?

gollark: Well, it's actually particularly relevant for me today, since a blog I follow, SlateStarCodex, is (temporarily? I hope) shut down because a news reporter is apparently planning to release the author's real-world name in an article about it, i.e. very literal doxxing, despite said blog author saying that they did not want this.
